A picture from the party that Trump hosted on Halloween at Mar-A-Lago. One day before SNAP benefits are to be cut. They are spitting in the faces of the millions who will starve due to income inequality Ironically, the theme for this party was Great Gatsby, a book where income inequality is central

Civil rights and freedom. Pluralism and nonviolent protest.

The values Americans cherish are under assault by Donald Trump.

THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and California will keep peacefully pushing back against the Trump Administration's authoritarian takeover.

The indictment of James Comey is just the latest example of Trump weaponizing the Justice Department to go after his political enemies.

At the same time, he’s doling out favors to his supporters and allies – including white collar criminals. Watch: https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?si=QTTJev6Fml50pYgP

Should elected officials be imprisoned for speaking out against an invasion of their cities? Hard to say. Very technical question. Really one for the lawyers to sort out.
Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that
